Original monotype print Sorceress After Arthur Rackham FREE SHIPPING

Description

I have to admit it...this piece is taken from an Arthur Rackham illustration. I find his illustrations so wonderful and I tried to see if I could mimic the characters he created. I was wanting to create a more illustrative effect with my monotypes so I thought I would use this image as a trial. What do you think?
Faces are particularly hard to do in print format as any flaw is magnified once it's printed. That is why many artists use a mirror to look at their work .

This image is a one-of-a-kind hand pulled print onto archival Rives BFK paper. This is not a reproduction. This is considered a reductive monotype in that I roll the whole plate with black ink and then “draw” into it with rags, cards, fingers, etc. to achieve the whites and grey tones. Once I feel the image is complete I lay a piece of dampened paper onto the plate and roll it through the press I keep at home. Now all the ink has transfered onto the paper and the image is in reverse. This will be the only print I can pull. Once dry I may go into the print and hand colour it with chalk pastels.

Image size: 13"x18"
Edition # 1/1
Medium: monotype

The print will be carefully shipped flat in a protective mailer with a sturdy backing board. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
